Name: Ayahuasca
AKA: Yagé
Summary: A psychedelic brew made up of a Banisteriopsis caapi vine and sometimes a mix of other DMT containing plants. The brew was made by the indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazonia for religious healing and worship.
Effects: Visual and auditory stimulation, the mixing of sensory modalities, euphoria, psychological introspection, nausea, anthelmintic, and "spritual awakening"
Usage: Ingestion
Legality: Differs - the plants themselves are legal, but the brewing of the tea is considered illegal since DMT is a schedule I drug. Its use in religious purposes, however, allow it to by protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Health: The brew is often used for healing purposes in the Amazon to purge the body (i.e. vomit/diarrhea) of parasitic worms and other bugs (hence the anthelmintic effect). The brew also causes an increased heart rate and has caused the deaths of people with heart diseases.
Availability: The plants and recipe are easily found online.
EDIT: I'm going to be trying this in the upcoming days. I'll post what I experienced.
Brief Bio: I started smoking weed when I was 16 yo after I confessed to a close friend that I had never tried before. She, another friend, and I smoked it and I've been doing it ever since. I don't do it everyday, but I love smoking something right before I play some video games. I mostly use drugs to relax at the end of the day so that I can fall asleep.
